SWS 4100
Color Display Weather Station

We thank you for the purchase of our Color Display Weather Station. It has been designed and constructed using innovative components and techniques to enable the perfect display by this device.
This unit is also equipped with an outdoor sensor.
Please read the entire instruction manual before using the product and then save it for future reference.
We reserve the right for any errors in test or images and any necessary changes made to technical data.

Things to consider:

  1. Other wireless equipment using the same frequency band can reduce the transmission range.
  2. The range of all wireless equipment depends on the type of obstacles located between the transmitter and the receiver (e.g. a concrete wall will interfere with the signal much more than a plasterboard wall).

If you experience problems, try the following:

  1. Turn off any other existing wireless equipment to check whether this is the cause of the problem.
  2. Move any other existing wireless equipment. Shorten the distance between the sending and receiving devices and reduce the number of obstacles(walls, furniture, etc.) between them.
  3. Try removing and reassembling batteries, if the batteries are old, try new ones.
